Taty Castellanos can provide immediate promotion boost as West Ham wish shared
Taty Castellanos’ future at West Ham United will certainly be going through the motions in the summer window.
The Argentine, despite signing in the winter, is already being linked with a move out of E20 with relegation now confirmed.
Castellanos’ arrival was a success for the Irons, though, with the South American netting six goals in 18 appearances. This put him on track for at least 12 if it was over the course of a full campaign.
That total would have put him on the cusp of the top 10 Premier League goal scorers and level with Jean-Philippe Mateta in 11th place.
Ahead of West Ham’s summer window, reports have detailed the Irons’ wish for the Argentine, and if it comes true, it could signal positive signs for promotion.

Can West Ham keep Taty Castellanos?
Keeping Castellanos will be a tough ask, but with Nuno Espirito Santo staying, they may have handed themselves a boost in that regard.
It may be clutching at straws, but after West Ham confirmed that the Portuguese manager would be staying for next season, the striker liked the post on Instagram.

| Big chances missed | 9 |
Additionally, according to journalist Jacob Steinberg, Castellanos is a player that West Ham would like to keep, and one they feel like could be possible to remain.
With his quality in leading the line, the Irons would be boosted massively in their push to get out of the Championship.
Promotion is not a guarantee for West Ham as history of Premier League side’s going down suggests. It will take a big effort from the board, manager and players to achieve that goal.
A player of Castellanos’ quality would undoubtedly thrive in the second tier, and if the Hammers are able to convince him to stay, that would be as good as a new signing.
Premier League rivals are already circling for Castellanos, so the Irons must be quick to convince him.
Which other players do West Ham want to keep?
The Irons are looking to keep a solid core of their Premier League squad, it seems, with Steinberg’s report sharing other names that could stay.
Alongside Castellanos, West Ham believe Hermansen, Mavropanos, Soucek and Jarrod Bowen are not out of the question when it comes to staying.
However, Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville are two that the Irons are resigned to losing in the summer.
It will certainly be an interesting summer for the London Stadium side.
